Hey!
I tried it already but it seems like there is something wrong when it
tries to copy the kernel. All I get is the following
boot -f bootp():/netbsd.IP32
Setting $netaddr to 10.0.0.5 (from server 10.0.0.2)
Unable to execute bootp():/netbsd.IP32: invalid argument
Unable to load bootp():/netbsd.IP32: ``bootp():/netbsd.IP32'' is not a
valid file to boot.
Here is my configuration:
dhcp:
subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
host o2 {
hardware ethernet 08:00:69:02:ef:b8;
fixed-address 10.0.0.5; # Adjust
#filename "/netbsd"; # XXX Do NOT set!
option root-path "/home/o2/root";
server-name="10.0.0.2";
}
}
rarpd:
8:00:69:02:ef:b8 o2
o2 points to 10.0.0.5
bootparamsd:
o2 root=10.0.0.2:/home/o2/root gateway=10.0.0.1:0xffffff00
I am able to tftp the netbsd.IP32 image from a sun server I have on the
same subnet. Any suggestions ?
